If I may, I'll start with a clarification that we've invoked the NSE on two occasions, not 1,000 occasions. There have been two invocations, and in the last fiscal year there have been 725 contracts subject to that invocation. All of those have been declared publicly on Open Government. We do proactively disclose our contracts. Despite the national security exception being applied, they are open, public, and transparent, and they are, to a 92% degree, competitive. I think we do adhere to the rules of open, transparent, and competitive as we are obligated to through the government contracting rules and regulations, wherever and whenever possible.
As mentioned previously, the national security exception is a very important tool for SSC in order to ensure supply chain integrity and some of the other aspects that are required to ensure our national security from an IT infrastructure perspective. But those do not impact our sourcing strategy and whether we're competitive or whether we're sole-sourcing.
